Welcome to Are Rera's Holiday Homestead, a unique family-built home completed in 2022 in honour of our beloved grandmother, Rera Ngamau O Rongo. This home was lovingly built by her son, my father, a retired builder, together with his brothers and sisters, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Every generation played a part in bringing this special place to life. More than just accommodation, Are Rera's Holiday Homestead is a home rich in character, family history, and Cook Islands heritage. Built on a foundation of love, hard work, and togetherness, we hope you'll feel the warmth of our family and create lasting memories during your stay.

Kia Orana, My name is Ranginui, and I am proud to be of Cook Islands and Māori descent. It is a privilege to welcome guests to Are Rera's Holiday Homestead, a place that is deeply connected to my family's history, culture, and values. Hospitality has always been at the heart of our home, and I enjoy sharing the warmth of the Cook Islands with visitors from around the world. When I'm not hosting, you'll usually find me baking, singing, reading, or adding to my ever-growing music collection. I also have a genuine passion for history, travel, and meeting people from different cultures, so I always enjoy hearing the stories and adventures of my guests. Whether you're visiting Rarotonga to relax, celebrate, or explore our beautiful island, I hope you'll feel at home from the moment you arrive. I'm always happy to share local knowledge, recommend hidden gems, and help make your stay as memorable and enjoyable as possible. I look forward to welcoming you to our little slice of paradise. Meitaki Ma'ata, Ranginui Samuels
